But if Intel knew of Pentium M's power from the start, why did they base their first generation of dual core CPU's on Pentium 4? I mean if you got something that runs more efficiently and has 1/5 power consumption of Pentium 4, it's kinda dumb putting two Pentium 4s on that chip (knowing that they w...

Thanks for clearing that up. Also, while we're on this subject, I've found this article (while trying to find out more about real Pentium M) that I think you guys will be interested in: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/05/25/dothan_over_netburst/ . Apparently Pentium M is a lot more powerful than In...

Is this thing a Pentium 4 or Pentium M?

Since I haven't worked much with laptops until I got 1 a few weeks ago, I'm a bit behind in laptop technology. The sticker on my Dell Latitude C640 says Pentium 4 with a small black triangle and an "M" inside right above it. I know that Centrino technology doesn't use Pentium 4, but rather...

I'm thinking of adding $100 to exchange it for iPod video, if I still can. That way I can store a lot more stuff on it, and will not break it by sitting on it.

The screen seems fine, then again I only had it for half a day so far.

My thoughts on my recent gift (iPod nano)

Man, those iPod nanos are amazing. This little miget I got today plays music with a quality 10 times better than any of my computers. I'll admit that all my sound systems consist of 2 generic speakers found in a store for $5 and an on-board audio, so it doesn't take much to beat it. But seriously th...

memory for my laptop

I'm trying to expand my Dell Latitude C640's 256MB PC2100 laptop memory, but looking at the prices online I found PC2700 to be cheaper than PC2100 (and I'm not exaggerating either, 512MB stick of PC2100 is $60 while I already found a 512MB stick of PC2700 for $40). I know that motherboards can use m...

Thanks, was also wondering what kinds of payments are ok to work with. I can take PayPal for sure, but don't trust money orders and checks as much.

iPod nano (no more using my PC for music), some accessories for it as well, a sweater, and ERYO Eau de Toilette. Overall, I'm glad, even got a techy gift. I was afraid that my mom would see me browsing eBay for memory modules and try to help me out by getting an outdated PC133 or something along tho...

Selling laptop on eBay, any suggestions?

Hey guys, I bought a laptop on eBay about 2 weeks ago, right before my mom gave me her old one for free. So now I'm thinking of selling it back, but since I never had experience selling on eBay (only buying), I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on how to go about the whole selling thin...

The old 32-bit processors that we all loved such as the Intel Pentium 4 and the AMD Athlon XP, could not address more than 4GB of memory. While this was an issue the move to 64-Bit computing did away with those concerns. Did you know that the current Intel Pentium 4 (EM64T) and AMD Athlon 64 (AMD64...

Yep, I calculated the price of making my own computer and buying one, and decided to build it myself. I actually bought that Northwood CPU about a month before I found out that it was the best CPU for overclocking at that time (easily overclockable to 2.6 GHz from 1.8 ). And then when I learned more...
